These are really great tips! Picking out paint is always a nervwracking challenge. You don't want to be that person with the sherbet walls when you were going for something much softer and quieter. We're currently in the process of picking out colors for our living room remodel, so I will be sure to implement this advice!

Thanks for all the suggestions Autumn. I thought I had the perfect color for my very open first floor since I'd used it in a bedroom in my last house. What looked like a perfect shade of taupe in a room with two small windows looks anemic in my house that's filled with natural light. Live and learn.

I find that last tip very useful, as I'm very worried (as well as excited) by having to choose the right colour of paint... I didn't need any convincing for your previous posts: I'm a "cotton only sheets-feathers only pillow" girl! Also, I'm choosing the new floor : I have tile samples everywhere in the house and they change rooms every now and then to see how they look!!
